How many soldiers fought at the Alamo?

There were between 182 and 260 Alamo defenders. There were regular troops of the Army of the Republic of Texas under the command of Colonel Travis. There were Texian volunteers who were not present as members of the Texas Army who were loosely under the control of Jim Bowie. There were Americans (that is US Citizens) like Crockett's band of adventurers. There were slaves present who were defenders and had a loyalty not to Texas but to their owners. There were no active duty American soldiers of the US Armed Forces present at the Alamo. Further, it must be noted that the defenders were not all former US Citizens who had been transplanted to Texas. A large number of the Alamo defenders were Mexican by both birth and ethnicity (That is a Tejano or Texans of Mexican descent). That exact number remains an unknown, but based on surnames is between 20 and 25 percent.


Why was the Alamo not important?

It was not the crucial battle that decided the course of Santa Anna's campaign. Santa Anna won the battle and wiped out the defenders, but the battle that determined the campaign was fought later. It was the most crucial battle as it was a delaying action that was known to the defenders at the Alamo. It was never expected nor was there any hope that they would win. It gave Sam Houston time to regroup and lead Santa Anna into the trap at San Jacinto. Santa Anna could have bypassed San Antonio and caught up with Houston but he decided to use the Alamo as an object lesson to the Texans. Unfortunately, for Santa Anna, his actions at the Alamo and the slaughter of the Texans at Goliad, galvanized the country and led to his defeat.

When was the gatlin gun invented?

The original Gatling gun was a black powder field weapon, which used multiple rotating barrels turned by a hand crank, and firing loose (no links or belt) metal cartridge ammunition using a gravity feed system from a hopper. It was first used by the Union Army during the American Civil War. Unlike earlier weapons such as the mitrailleuse which had limited capacity and long reloading times, the Gatling gun was more reliable, easy to load, and had a high firing rate. Gatling guns were used by the US side during the Spanish-American War, most notably during the battle of San Juan Hill. == == It was designed by (Jordan?) Gatling and first used in 1862 and later during the Civil War. Gatling continued to improve the original model with addition of more barrels and increasing the number of rounds fired in a given time. Eventually, it could fire over 1,000 rounds a minute.
